I got in a fight, I was only fifteen Standing in the park in soaking wet jeans Eyes wide open I could see the diamonds dancing in the leaves I ran through the neighborhood And down to the shore The sea was still and silent as a starry glass floor The ship was touching down And all the bells were ringing all across the town There were hundreds of thousands, millions of billions Hungry ghosts, god’s men, lovers and villains I stepped upon the water Saw my daughter’s only father look me right in the eye Right in the eye A shadow that creeps upon your bed as you sleep It slides along the wall and settles out in the hall At the center of the stars a massive void that spins and calls you Hundreds of thousands, millions of billions Hungry ghosts, god’s men, lovers and villains I stepped upon the water Saw my daughter’s only father look me right in the eye Right in the eye I got in a fight, I was only fifteen Standing in the park in soaking wet jeans Eyes wide open I could see the diamonds dancing in the leaves

about

“This tune is about a moment of extreme clarity I had as a teenager after a fight that occurred at a park after dark in Haysville. I'd pissed myself slightly and ran through the woods and came upon what appeared to be a lake or body of water that hadn't been there before. I blinked and it disappeared and I was standing in an empty parking lot. But I felt like I'd seen either what that place had looked like millions of years ago, or I'd seen the way that place actually was, without the realm of illusion overlayed.” - Eric Earley of Blitzen Trapper
